Nintendo will brick your Switch 2 for one fundamental reason
May 14, 2025 - Nintendo has warned that it will brick your Switch 2 for one fundamental reason, so you must proceed cautiously if you want to follow this path. Modding consoles is nothing new. I remember a friend of mine having a modded original PlayStation in the 1990s so that he could play imported games.

r/NintendoSwitch2 on Reddit: I hate the argument that "Nintendo will brick your Switch 2 if you mod it." Here's why:

I've noticed that a few of people's major worries regarding the Switch 2 (which are similar to worries about past Nintendo systems as well) are based on very extreme/catastrophic thinking: "Nintendo will brick my Switch 2 if I try to mod it." - Not if you wait until there's a confirmed safe exploit and you know how to follow instructions properly. By the end of the console's life cycle or middle of the next console's life, this will be relatively easy and almost completely consequence-free. "I'll lose all access to my digital game cards and digital games when servers shut down or when there's an apocalyptic event." - You can still redownload digital games from the Wii and 3DS eshops if you own them. Modern digital storefronts are way better than old ones as well. Plus, Nintendo is not going anywhere anytime soon unlike stuff like Ouya. If there is an apocalyptic event that causes all digital storefronts to go down, then there will be much more important things to focus on than redownloading and replaying games you've already played.
